Test Your Reaction Time vs Noah Lyles

Test your 100m reaction speed vs the current world champion.

1. Turn up the sound
2. Listen for the starting gun.
3. Press spacebar or k
4. Tap to play again (3 times each play).

If you think this competition is unfair, well, it is.

Noah Lyles is the reigning World Champion and has trained himself to react almost instantaneously, firing a long chain of physiological responses throughout his body.

You, on the other hand, are sending that signal to your fingertip. But isn’t it fun to try to beat the reigning “world’s fastest” at (a small part of) his own game?

And guessing when the gun will fire won’t help. If you react faster than 0.100 of a second, you’re out.

In elite sprinting, there are no second chances and races are won or lost by hundredths, even thousandths of a second.

So how fast are you?

*Apologies to Zaharnel Hughes, he's actually in lane 5 next to Noah, the arrow is pointing to Letsile Tebogo in lane 3 who had a .129 RT

Funnily enough, Lyles had the worst reaction time in the final, but got gold!

[gabrielguerrero]

I got disqualified for being too fast.

Took me the entire video to realize it wanted us to pause and see our reaction time from when we can pause it lol

[JerryDream-tbex]

This is great practice before a track meet!👍

[williambrewster]

I felt like the music made me start reacting slower, I went from hitting .180 every time to .250 with the music in the background

[aeleuz]

at some point your mind kind of wants to predict it which made me respect even more

[yuanfurbax]

Cats laughing with 20-70ms reaction time

[MrYass]

I just realized something quite fascinating, when I open my eyes and I try to react based on the changing image I score an average of 0.170, but when I close my eyes and try to react based on the gun sound I almost go beyond 0.200 to react, I think this is because sound travels slower to reach my ears than light to reach my eyes that's why the difference.

Great video always been concerned at reaction times

[ONG_Marciss]

I did 0, 118 and I'm not a good starter. Nice test it's really helpfull for the athletes.

[TylerDeWaard]

That's not Zarnel Hughes. That's Letsile Tebogo.

[davidcostacampos]

Thats nice and all but you can't compare the click of a mouse to a reaction start.
Noah:
1- Just had to literally move to consider a start

Clicking to stop de video:
1- Clicking the mouse or space bar which implies pushing the button all the way through
2- Send the input to the machine
3- The input will be processed and act upon based on the internet velocity

So its literally impossible for someone to react faster on pausing the video with a click of a button than Noah react start. Not even Noah himself cliking on the mouse/space bar lol

This can be beneficial for our 100m training also
😅

[thomaspoll]

I like this. I got 0.101 like five times in a row

[rhythmgod]

I closed my eyes and reacted to the sound instead. (0.101 seconds)

[Flyerman]

I turned on Michael’s special ability and was able to beat Noah’s reaction time

[clandudexd]

Per The Rule Book Your Reaction time is considered faster then human possible
You are disqualified

0.67😂

[satyajitbalneogi]

Got a 0.201 Lets Goooo...
Sprint swimmer instincts kicking in!!!!

[Donnotfound]

Bro me too it was like you are to fast for it to be humanly possible 😅

[Deepak]

Hey timer reaction results error

I tried past months this showed accurate, but this time one second delay in my screen
